A bit like vinyl then.
What’s a “vinyl member”? I own vinyl, and I comment on it positively and negatively and neutrally, as warranted. Do I have to cut out the negative and the neutral to gain ‘vinyl member’ status?
I am not aware of any such campaign to run down vinyl in the Turntables, Phono Amplifier, Cartridges Review forum. Go there if you want to feel the love and only the love. In fact, there is a specific thread there for discussing vinyl without allowing any criticisms. Apparently some people who get greatest listening pleasure from vinyl feel personally judged when their tool is described as imperfect, so the site has a safe place for such gentle creatures. There are many other sites that are even safer spaces because bans are promptly handed out when true but unfavourable statements are posted about vinyl. This site, in general, is not like that, being focused on truth including criticisms of toys.
Hence when threads are raised in the General Discussion forum about the pros and cons of vinyl, such as this one, it is assumed that statements of fact are welcome, pro and con. But people keep coming into it with the attitude that criticisms are unwelcome ie it’s a Vinyl Love thread, and make sarcastic and defensive comments such as yours above. On more than one occasion
the mods have had to step in and lay down the law that criticisms of vinyl are allowed.
